Flyers going to face the Blackhawks for the Stanley Cup...

In all honesty though, that was a great series. The first few games were somewhat terrible, but these last few have been amazing. What an awesome finals series. Philly definitely played better than I expected. I knew they were a good team, but they definitely gave me a scare. Thanks both teams for the entertainment!

word. so true

We were robbed, that "game winning" shot in OT by Chicago was soooooooo not a goal, it never crossed the line and wwent into the net. That isht was rigged. Live up hawks fans, Philly usually chokes but that was not a choke, that was highway robbery.

Wait, what? Is that sarcasm I'm not picking up on? We need sarcasm tags...

Umm, what? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah4uJvVweCc Please watch and pause at the 1:31 mark.

What a great series, kudos to the Flyers for putting up one hell of a fight.

I can't wait for the rally today!

I was watching the game and decided to leave my friend's house and go back to my gf's after the3rd period, figuring we would still catch the end. I thought that sudden death didn't happen in playoffs, and that the full period had to be played. Seems pretty cheap that a lucky goal can win the whole damn thing (not saying Chic's was, as I didn't see it). Anyone else catch how much the Philly fans were booing when they brought out the trophy?

Ummm...they found the puck in the back of the net....as long as it's back there and there is no penalties, it's a goal. Yea, it sucks, but the Hawks did win the game...

[AppleBonker]

I'm pretty sure there was sarcasm in there, or complete all-out joking. That couldn't have been serious, right?

[marlin29311]

I hope not.... :-\

I'm in no way a Flyers fan, and with the lackluster playing that they had in the final 2 games I'll be the first to say that they choked, but at the same time when a game ends with everyone except the "winning" team saying "WTF just happened" and a severe case of confusion. But whatev, at least Philly didn't get swept, though I would have liked it if the Flyers would have won at least one game in Chicago.

So you were being serious? Uh, how did the puck get into the back of the net, then? After Kaner took the shot, it was magically stopped but no one knew where. Then one of the refs found it and placed it in the back of the net? All whilst 20k fans were watching live and not one of them saw this? Nevermind the video of the goal? I can deal with crazy conspiracy theories, but this one takes the cake.

You want a conspiracy theory, I'll give you one. I think the league helped Philly by calling the power play goal in game three (after the video review which occurred 1:40 or so after the "goal" in the second period). Sure, one camera angle showed white ice between the puck and the goal line. But, the camera was not at a perfect top down angle AND the puck was on edge. Personally, based on the angles I don't know if it was a goal. In fact, I'd say a lot of math and recreation of the event would be needed to actually check. Without this, I can't honestly say one way or the other, so I'd call it inconclusive (meaning the call on the ice stands). Call me biased all you want, but I think video reviews get botched more often than people think.
